A belter of a St Joseph. Silky Syrah. — 5 years ago
Lemon oil, citrus rind, white flowers, ocean mist, golden apple. Clear minerality, slightly briny finish. Excellent purity and focus for a village level cuvée. Tremendous value. — 6 years ago
Fresh, bright, brilliant. Floral, high-toned and energetic, with just a touch of acacia and oak. One of Seve’s best efforts of the past five years. #mâconnais #chardonnay — 6 years ago
Evokes an 80's Mike Tyson, powerful, primary, possibly destined for greatness but creating a fear that unnerves. Appropriately, it socks the nose, cloves, kirsch, leather. Assaults the palate, huge extraction that manages to float, coffee, dark chocolate. Compote left out for a day. Would love to taste this next to any SQN Grenache of similar age...Group was confounded but, like 80s Iron Mike, agreed that it's destined for fame or despair, but will always be interesting. — 8 years ago
Decanted >6h ago and now back to bottle. Marvelous intensive nose. Dark and red fruit, chocolate, spices and a floral touch of lavender! So great! On the palate its starts to be smoother and smoother. Worth waiting theese years! — 8 years ago
This has been a serious "go to" wine for me. This 100% Merlot pairs well with just about any meal. The silky red fruits, along with light pepper and cedar spice gives this great character. Although the wine is still young and tannic it boasts a well packed body and solid acidity. This has great aging potential and will be abundant in my cellar for sure. Give this a try next time you try a new wine. — 9 years ago

Vivid purple. Spice- and smoke-accented red and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by a suave floral nuance that builds as the wine opens up. Juicy, seamless and light on its feet; a minerally note adds spicy lift to sweet black raspberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors. Finishes supple and very long, with harmonious tannins adding gentle grip and shape to lingering dark fruit and spice notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019) — 5 years ago
Now called Chetillons. Single vineyard. The bouquet on entry reminds me of the first time I dined at Bouley in the late 1980’s. The vestibule always had a basket of smashed fermenting apples. It is a Proustian experience. Also, a great wine, showing perfectly. — 6 years ago
Blackberry, wood, spice. Cherry. Forest floor on palate. Medium bodied and fuller flavor with a defined and slightly tart finish. — 7 years ago
Bubble gum, dry red roses and a little spice on the nose. Dark raspberries, dark cherries, raspberries, some strawberries, bubble gum, bandaid, violets & red roses, granite, soft spice and rich sweet dark soil. There's nice evolution in the bottle as its so soft, smooth and elegant. Jean Foillard, Marcel La Pierre and Yvon Metras are my favorite producers for Gamay. — 8 years ago

Still a bit young, but still excellent. — 9 years ago
Good acid to challenge my elk tartar. Could use a little more body, but very nice for my pallet. — 10 years ago
Dry, bold flavor, easy to drink and great for a hot day. — 5 years ago
One of the best wines I’ve had in a while. Cidery and almost toeing the line of bruised apple. Later morphed and really became full of stone fruit. Apricots and canned peaches. This wine is alive. Just consume it over a few hours and watch it change in the glass. — 5 years ago
I really love this wine. It’s right up my alley and very drinkable with a dry smooth finish. — 7 years ago
Crisp and clean citrus. Slate notes on a medium finish. Serve slightly warmer than usual to get the full impact of the mineral tones. — 7 years ago
Got this sale, ~$9/bottle. I have jade this with lamb chop as well as some pasta. A very nice drinking wine — 8 years ago
Chablis and stir-fry noodles. Acidity dancing with umami. Mushrooms and minerality. This made for a nice Monday. #thanksunclebobby — 9 years ago
